HPs EliteBook 2530p is a 12in laptop that weighs 1.7kg, yet packs in a lot of features. Its aimed squarely at business users and has a tough exterior that protects it from knocks and scratches while on long business trips. However, its not perfect, and could still use some refinement in its design. In particular, we dont like the placement of the fingerprint reader, which sits on the right side of the palm rest. Your palm can inadvertently hit this as you type, which summons a dialogue box...

A small machine that was meant to be manhandledThe first word that comes to mind when you pick up HP’s 2530p is “solid.” From its heft, to its construction, to its scratch-resistant anodized aluminum display enclosure and palm rest, this notebook seems...
Allows more access to its innards than other similar notebooks. Very solid. Has a 2MP webcam.
Battery protrudes from body almost an inch. Only has two USB ports.

There is a constant struggle in the Laptop industry between small and portable or big and powerful. I am not a fan of Netbooks because they are a little too small. I am also not a fan of BIG laptops because they are not portable enough. So when I look f...
Overall I am impressed with the laptop. The performance is fairly low, but I kind of expected this because of the size of the laptop. However, the battery life more than makes up for the low performance, the battery life is absolutely amazing. If you a...

The next time you see some miserable drone hunched over his tiny, underpowered netbook, pecking away at cramped keys and straining to see the screen, pull out your EliteBook 2530p and laugh. Though not much larger or heavier than your average mini-note...
Boots quick and runs for hours. About as compact as a notebook can be and still have a fullsize keyboard. Squeezes in a touchpad and a pointing stick for users who prefer one over the other. Optional wireless modem works with multiple carriers (though not...
Its how much? What is this, a MacBook Air? Slow, sucky integrated graphics. Awkward, overengineered touch volume controls hard to control. Sixcell battery sticks out from the rear, taking a little of the notebooks compactness with it.

Its rare when a laptop can pull off great battery life with either its standard battery or an extended one. The HP EliteBook 2530p ($2,099 direct)—a business ultraportable—has the battery capacity to last from a breakfast meeting to a late-aft...
Standard plus extended battery yield over 20 hours of battery life. Built-in optical drive. Very good keyboard. Dual pointing devices. Multiple wireless technologies.
VGA is the only video-out port. Weak speakers. Youll need to carry that extra battery to get the great battery life.
If battery life ranks high on your list of business needs, the HP EliteBook 2530p wont disappoint...
